TypeScript workaround for rest props in React

Question

Updated for TypeScript 2.1

TypeScript 2.1 now supports object spread/rest, so no workarounds are needed anymore!

I've accepted Nitzen Tomer's answer because it was the basic idea I was going for.

As a more generalized solution this is what I ended up going with:

export function rest(object: any, remove: {[key: string]: any}) {
  let rest = Object.assign({}, object);
  Object.keys(remove).forEach(key => delete rest[key]);
  return rest;
}

So I can use it like this:

const {a, b, c} = props;
const htmlProps = rest(props, {a, b, c});

And once TypeScript supports object rest/spread I can just look for all usages of rest() and simplify it to const {a, b, c, ...htmlProps} = props.
